i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start with this. president obama has got a spring in his step this friday before the election propelled by a good week on the job and 171,000 new jobs in this morning's report. he's out there in ohio fighting the good fight. i only make predictions when people make me make them, but the trajectory, the momentum, now seems pro-obama. pennsylvania will hold, ohio looks good but close, and all the battlegrounds look winnable for the president. the huge question is turnout, that and rational self-interest. the young who believe in science, women who believe in protecting their rights, latinos who can see a brighter future with a supportive president all need to get out, show up, and vote. there's no reward for a failure. in a free society, a democratic society is a failure, deeply personal, you blew it if you don't vote. let's see where it stands. i'm joined by mother jones washington bureau chief david corn and joy reid. do you think i'm a little strong? >> no. >> i don't want to talk to anybody after th

i a not here to defend washington. none of this is being handled -- gerri: that would be to baggage up for all three of us put together. let me tell you. >> all of these things have to be dealt with. i can't disagree with that. think that there is this piecemeal approach to our problems that will solve anything. gerri: well, how likely given the fact that there is not even another meeting scheduled for everybody to get together and talk about this issue, how likely is it that we will get any kind of resolution before the end of t year? >> i think it's more likely each and every day that the democrats are willing to jump off the cliff. and i happen to believe that they are believing their own polling which they believe that the american people blame the republicans for going off the clif but the bottom line is we don't have a national election for two years. the public is a very short memory. the bottom line is either you deal with it this year, next year. it has to be dealt with because you know what's happening? what
